3D Printing Room/Precautions: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:22, 2024 October 15

In general, it's a good idea to watch your print until the first few layers are complete. 3D printing can be somewhat unreliable and prints often fail over the first few layers.
SLA resin is very messy and poses several hazards that can accumulate over time. If you're working near the resin printers, do not touch your face or eyes and wash your hands afterwards.
If you're working with the resin printers, wear protective nitrile gloves (available at the cleaning workstation). When pouring resin, wear goggles (with complete face seal) to avoid splashback injury.
Wear safety glasses when removing snapaway supports.
SDS are available in the SDS Binder near the door.
Always label your filament rolls with your full name. Unlabelled rolls will be considered community use.
Put finished prints in the finished prints bin.
If you need to unload someone else's filament, please tuck in the ends to avoid tangling.
